Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to select and define vocabulary words that can be used to describe nests built by birds, a shared reading text to follow a set of instructions about how to design and make an Easter decoration and templates to select and shape different materials to make models of flowers and leaves that can be used to decorate the nests.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to shape different materials to make models of nests that can be used to store eggs for Easter.

This lesson is part of an art and design scheme of work to get the children to practise shaping and combining a range of different materials to produce decorations with matching patterns and shapes to celebrate Easter. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
